Hi all,
First off, thanks to all member of this site - wonderful collection of people all trying to help each other,truely inspiring!
My main question - does anyone suffer from/or have any advice on dealing with feelings of unreality (more correctly depersonalization/derealization)?
Before visiting this site i had no idea this was such a common symptom of anxiety - it scared and still does scare me like nothing else. All of a sudden for me everything feels very surreal, i feel very removed from everything. Almost the same feeling as when you wake up suddenly and your not quite together yet and your thoughts are still half dreamlike. It honestly is the most terrifying thing i have ever experienced, and i feel that if i could handle it jst a little bit i would be able to start dealing with my other issues.
Any help or advice is massivly appreciated,
thanks
